This is Why

At the end of 2015, there were 2.6 million children living with HIV around the world.

An estimated 190,000 children died of AIDS in 2013.

﻿25 million children are orphaned as a result of AIDs, with 85% living in sub-Saharan Africa. ﻿

In 2015, nearly 5.9 million children died under the age of 5, with 45% dying in the first month of life. Most die form preventable causes such as diarrhea, malnutrition, pneumonia and pre-term conditions. Even in the United States, 53,000 children will die each year.

All too often, infants and children are left to die in appalling conditions without food or shelter. particularly in worn torn countries facing famine and enormous shortage of resources.They may have only newspapers to serve as a cover. They are turned away due to the stigma and poverty. Their last few days are often lived in pain, fear, and loneliness. No Child Dies Alone provides training and tools to allow caregivers to provide compassionate care for children who are dying, and to lift up the caregivers in managing their own compassion fatigue, that arise from their own exposure in working in horrific conditions.
